The Nashville Police Department continues to actively search for Blanca Guadalupe Berrios Orellana, a 23-year-old woman from Antioch, who was reported missing more than a week ago, as noted in a statement released by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Details concerning her disappearance are sparse, but what is known paints a worrying picture for those who care for her.
Berrios Orellana was last seen at her Old Hickory Boulevard apartment on August 18th, saying she was going to Murfreesboro to visit a family member. It has now been several days since her intended visit, and there appears to be no trace of her to find openly. As search efforts continue, her physical description has been widely disseminated: she stands 5'2" tall, weighs 120 pounds, has brown eyes, and can be identified by a small scar under her chin.
Officials and the community alike express deep concern for her safety. The urgency is palpable as the Nashville Police urge anyone with information to step forward. "If you see her or know her whereabouts, please call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463 or the Department of Emergency Communications at 615-862-8600," as mentioned in their Media Release.
Investigators have been trying to thoroughly gather evidence and leads that may shed light on her whereabouts. In the meantime, friends, family, and the Antioch community are left to hope, worry, and to not lose the courage to actively seek answers and her safe return.
